Mariah Carey: Her Legs

As the holiday season approaches, one cannot help but be reminded of Mariah Carey’s timeless classic, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You.’ While most recognize her for her unparalleled vocal talents, there’s a lesser-known chapter in her fame story. Remember when Gilette Venus bestowed upon Carey the title of their inaugural ‘Celebrity Legs of a Goddess’ and unveiled a colossal 16-foot replica of her legs in the heart of New York City?

The sight of her own larger-than-life statue at Radio City Music Hall might have been Mariah’s moment of realization. It wasn’t long after this striking display that she took an extraordinary step by insuring her legs for an astonishing $1 billion. What’s truly mind-boggling is that Mariah’s leg insurance surpasses her estimated net worth, which Celebrity Net Worth pegged at around $320 million.
